[SSA:2014-050-03] kernel
New kernel packages are available for Slackware 14.1 (64-bit) to fix a
security issue.
Here are the details from the Slackware64 14.1 ChangeLog
patches/packages/linux-3.10.17-2/*:
These are new kernels that fix CVE-2014-0038, a bug that can allow local
users to gain a root shell.
Be sure to reinstall LILO (run "lilo" as root) after upgrading the kernel
packages, or on UEFI systems, copy the appropriate kernel to
/boot/efi/EFI/Slackware/vmlinuz).
